Leuk is located in the Swiss Rhone Valley and has a history of over 4000 years. The historic center of Leuk features medieval buildings such as a pentagonal town hall. The Gothic church of St. Stephen has a 20-meter skull wall in the ossuary. The former bishop's castle dates from the early Romanesque period of the 11th century and was extensively restored by the Ticino star architect Mario Botta. The Dala tower stands on the road between Leuk and Varen above the Dala gorge.

“I loved the canyon swing. It felt like a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. The team were friendly and helpful, kept me calm when I started to panic, and gave me a little push to finally get off. Thank you.”
“Lucas was a great guide. The activity is so fun - you need a lot of nerve and absolutely cannot be afraid of heights. Bring water. Highly recommend.”
“No doubt, this was the most incredible and wonderful experience I have ever had. Anyone visiting Grindelwald should definitely give it a try.”
“I decided to do this after seeing the paragliders land in Interlaken, and i was on my first solo trip so thought why not! I was nervous beforehand, but my pilot, Robin, put me at ease and was very kind. It’s actually a peaceful experience (we did do one fun trick which i loved, and you can ask for more if you want a thrill), and the views are incredible. We flew for quite a long time due to the thermals. I recommend to anyone :) no experience needed!”
“The views at the top and the challenge of getting there were great. Our guide was excellent company and helped us feel confident.”
“Quality day with valentine and airtime paragliding. Couldn’t have made my 30th any more special.”
